This lesson uses movement to practice spelling words.  The students actively say and blend words.

This is a review game that students can play as they practice reading words
with short vowel sounds. Students can help students build decoding and
fluency skills as they work within a small group. All short vowels should be
introduced before playing this game with students.

This is a review game that students can play as they practice reading words that have short vowels with initial and final digraphs as well as short vowels observing the floss rule. Students can help students build decoding and fluency skills as they work within a small group. All short vowels should be introduced before playing this game with students.

Multi-sensory Explicit Phonics for Tier 3 Reading Invention provides a fully scripted reading program, assessment tools, scope and sequence, teacher and student instructional materials and embedded professional learning through an overview and modeling, all in one. It is based in Orton-Gillingham and Direct Instruction methodologies and contains additional components of phonological awareness (Heggerty) and visualization during phoneme-grapheme mapping and connecting concepts to semantic networks.

First grade students are learning to decode and encode short vowels in CVC words. Fluency Pyramids are an intervention tool used to increase students' reading fluency. The pyramid begins with one word, and a subsequent word is added with each line of text. The text at the bottom of the pyramid contains the entire sentence. After reading, students will find the corresponding picture.
They allow for targeted, direct, and explicit instruction.
You can use them with multiple grade/ability levels.
You can easily differentiate them.
They can cover numerous language skills (phonics, spelling, vocabulary, fluency, and grammar).
